WEST Coast skipper Darren Glass is confident his team has the depth to cover for a host of injuries in Saturday's Round 1 showdown against Fremantle.

The Eagles will be without ruckman Nic Naitanui (groin), midfielder Daniel Kerr (knee), former Pie Sharrod Wellingham (ankle), forward Mark Nicoski (hamstring) and wingman Matt Rosa (thigh) this week.

In contrast, Fremantle will be close to full strength, with Aaron Sandilands (hamstring) being the only notable omission.

West Coast enters the season as one of the premiership favourites, and Glass said the club had plenty of options to replace the injured players this week.

"It's very rarely you're at full strength week in, week out. I'm very comfortable with our depth," Glass said.

Nicoski missed all of last year after undergoing hamstring surgery, and has again been placed on the long-term injury list after a slower-than-expected recovery.

Glass remains hopeful the 29-year-old can overcome his injury troubles in time to play a key role this year.

"He's had a terrible run of luck, but he remains positive and still a good opportunity to play lots of good footy this year," Glass said.
